Shit Tintub! I love it when you get all technical!

Never "Fall" in Love.

elucubra 0 points1 point 7 days ago[-]

What we commonly call "falling in love" is actually a mix of infatuation and lust. In certain circumstances, when projections wane, it may grow into love, but very often it becomes a sour experience, as almost no one can actually match our expectations ( which were unfairly projected upon them...).

Read The Art of Loving, maybe one of the sanest and most lucid works on the subject.

I'm a former Digger and I have questions for you.

It might have to do with the fact that you've only been a smug asshole for 5 days...

It takes a while to get used to it.

Parents died in a car wreck two days ago. All I want to do is stay in bed and be left alone.

elucubra 0 points1 point 11 days ago[-]

I don't, and can't know what you are going through, but I know what I went through when my my father and my cousin ( like a brother) died, 6 months apart.

Cry, suffer, scream , do as you need!

let it out! Let it sink in, mourn and grieve! You need it. If you are as most people, the pain will start to dull, until it becomes bearable, and it will slowly transform into memory, sometimes longing.

Hang on, and don't let others tell you what you can or how you can feel, because IT'S YOUR LOSS.

We are with you.

Why are America men very distance from there friends? If you put you arm around their shoulder they say "WTF ARE YOU GAY?!?!"

elucubra 36 points37 points 11 days ago[-]

Spaniard here:

With family adult males, cheek kissing is almost the rule. It is sometimes done with very close or longtime friends. I guess it denotes tight bond.

Handholding between males is only done child- adult ( exception noted of some folk dances).

Arm over shoulder very common among buddies, or drinking partners when sauntering from bar to bar.

Wee keep less interpersonal distance while talking than many cultures, and we usually lightly touch in various non-threatening manners to punctuate or emphasize ( usually the forearm, the upper arm ,or the shoulder)

Interesting. In Spain, most ( if not all) medicine which must be metered is packeged with a graduated plastic spoon, or a syringe.

So any PC USB shit works. Period. But Apple stuff "weeeell" "Is it Apple?", "We don't approve"...

I steer clear of Apple stuff, and mind you; I have dealt with them since the original Mac, yeah, the I.

PC's can be a pain, but I'm BOSS.

Does anyone else think these things are the coolest thing ever ?!

If you think a restroom hand dryer is the coolest anything, YOU ARE A SAD FUCK!

Moderate drinking: Health benefits or not?

I've had a few moderations today, and see no benefit. YMMV.

Samsung confirms a 7-inch tablet for Sept

elucubra 0 points1 point 15 days ago[-]

Plenty of tablets similar to these available right now. OK lower spec, I'm sure , but available and cheap.

I finally decided to throw all my socks away and bought 20 pair of the exact same kind of sock. Life really does seem simpler now.

Which multitool/Swiss army knife?

Fuck! I just looked at my keyring, looking for my 20-something-year-old Victorinox-mini minus the plastic grips, and it's gone!!

I knew this would happen at some point, but it still saddens me...

In an order to help identify a fellow Redditor, I propose the Reddit hand signal.

I don't know...

I'm at buddie's bar right now, technically "ootside". But there is only my buddy the owner ( gay as a daffodil, as Freddie Mercury would say ) and yours truly. No one else ( even though he usually is a babe magnet , GOD KNOWS WHY!!), both with the laptops fired-up.

I don't worry much, though, later on women will flock here ( beats the shit out of me why, though.

Why hello, ladies. You can take me where I can't stand anytime you want.

I've worked in TV.

"Firefly" is great TV.

"The Wire" and "Deadwood" are ART.

Why hello, ladies. You can take me where I can't stand anytime you want.

elucubra 2 points3 points 22 days ago[-]

Sorry. Firefly is good. Quite good. but...

TV ends after The Wire and Deadwood. The rest is sooo pisspoor pathetic...
